Abstract: Une prise duplex de type disjoncteur de fuite à la terre (GFCI) type comporte deux boutons : un bouton d'essai qui, une fois enfoncé, coupe l'alimentation de la prise et les dispositifs en aval, et un bouton de réarmement qui, lorsqu'on l'enfonce, rétablit l'alimentation du GFCI et des dispositifs en aval. De façon générale, on appuie sur le bouton d'essai pour s'assurer que le disjoncteur GFCI coupe l'alimentation des chemins conducteurs, et sur le bouton de réarmement pour réarmer le disjoncteur GFCI. Pendant la marche, la partie essai du disjoncteur GFCI interrompt automatiquement la continuité électrique dans un ou plusieurs chemins conducteurs (c'est-à-dire interrompt le passage du courant) entre la lignes et les côtés charge en cas de détection d'un dysfonctionnement de type inversion de polarités, mise à la terre défectueuse, dispositif GFCI ouvert au neutre et/ou défectueux. En présence d'un tel incident, on appuie sur le bouton de réarmement d'une prise GFCI pour rétablir l'alimentation. Le disjoncteur GFCI de l'invention ne possède qu'un seul bouton à double fonction : essai et le réarmement. On l'enfonce pour vérifier le bon fonctionnement du disjoncteur GFCI et de ses circuits connexes et, uniquement si tous les circuits sont opérationnels, on le relâche pour réarmer le disjoncteur GFCI en fermant les chemins conducteurs ouverts. Si, pendant la marche, la partie essai du disjoncteur GFCI détecte un dysfonctionnement, elle coupe l'alimentation de la prise et des dispositifs en aval, Le fait d'enfoncer et de relâcher le bouton unique ne rétablit l'alimentation de la prise et des dispositifs en aval que si le disjoncteur GFCI est opérationnel, qu'il n'y a pas de circuit ouvert au neutre et/ou qu'il n'y a pas d'inversion de polarités au niveau des branchements du dispositif.

Abstract: Disclosed is a novel use of an immunoglobulin Fc fragment, and more particularly, a pharmaceutical composition comprising an immunoglobulin Fc fragment as a carrier. The pharmaceutical composition comprising an immunoglobulin Fc fragment as a carrier remarkably extends the serum half-life of a drug while maintaining the in vivo activity of the drug at relatively high levels. Also, when the drug is a polypeptide drug, the pharmaceutical composition has less risk of inducing immune responses compared to a fusion protein of the immunoglobulin Fc fragment and a target protein, and is thus useful for developing long-acting formulations of various polypeptide drugs.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for removing and transporting articles, such as contact lens sections from a manufacturing line to inspection and packaging stations. The lenses are deposited in a transparent plastic primary package which carries the lenses through the inspection station and becomes part of the primary package when a cover is sealed thereto. The invention includes various assemblies, including lens transfer assemblies, deionized water filling and removal assemblies, a water degassing assembly, a lens inspection assembly, and a lens package sealing assembly. The lenses are removed from pallets at a post hydration station, transported and spatially redistributed, and deposited in the primary packages disposed on a second set of pallets. The packages on the second set of pallets are filled with degassed deionized water. The contact lenses and packages are then transported to an inspection station. After inspection, the lenses and packages are transported to a water removal assembly, and then to another transfer assembly. This transfer assembly separates those lenses which passed inspection from those which did not, and places those that did in a consolidating assembly. The lenses and packages are then filled with saline solution and a foil label is then sealed thereto to form the primary package.

Abstract: Afin d'empêcher ou de réduire des interférences intracellulaires, chaque secteur d'une cellule est associé à un ensemble spécifique au secteur de ressources système (par ex. des sous-bandes) et à au moins un ensemble commun non chevauchant de ressources système. Chaque ensemble commun pour chaque secteur comprend des ressources système observant peu ou pas d'interférence provenant d'au moins un autre secteur dans la cellule. La condition de voie pour un terminal dans un secteur x donné est déterminée sur la base de mesures de liaison aval et/ou de liaison de retour pour le terminal. Des ressources système provenant d'un ensemble commun ou d'un ensemble spécifique au secteur pour le secteur x sont attribuées au terminal sur la base de la condition de voie du terminal. Par exemple, si le terminal observe de grandes interférences provenant d'un autre secteur y, des ressources système provenant d'un ensemble commun qui observe peu ou pas d'interférence provenant du secteur y sont attribuées au terminal. Ces techniques peuvent être utilisées pour un système à multiplexage OFDMA qui utilise les sauts de fréquence.
